    Samsung Igniton Coil?!

    Developed a misfire on the car last week, culprit was pretty obvious once I got the covers off!! Think I'll change to use VW pencil coils, the OEM ones are expensive and hard to get in the UK and also I can eliminate the PTUs.

    Up and running again :)

    Finally got the new tank install finished and re-plumbed. Fired up today with only one minor coolant leak where I'd used the wrong size O-Ring. Now just got to put the front bumper back on, top up the oil and see if it's fixed the scavenge return issue. Next is to sort out air filters /...

    Plumbing Nightmare!

    Finally got sometime to fit the new tanks and hopefully cure my scavenge return issue once and for all. If I never have to make up another AN fitting it will be too soon! Just the top coolant hose to do then figure out how to get some air filters in there! There's just so little room that...

    New Shiny Bits

    New oil tank, catch tank and header tank from AH fabrications. Hopefully the oil tank will finally sort out my scavenge return issues. Shame I'm on holiday for 2 weeks now so can't fit them!

    Car actually moved this year!!

    After a few years of really not looking at it (house, kids, working abroad 50% of the time) then I've actually had the 500ZX out this year :) Must admit even with the issues I have I've been loving driving it. Forget what a wonderful thing a big capacity normally aspirated engine is. So now...

    New (better) 500zx vid

    Another vid of the 500zx, bit of a compilation. Prob be the last one until I get to the dyno as it's still only locked to about 60% throttle and 7k rpm at the minute. Shame the video camera doesn't really capture the sound properly though, on the drive by, it sounds immense when you're actually...

    500ZX FINALLY hits the road!

    Woo Hoo!!! Finally on the road Taxed and tested today, straight through MOT and have done about 2 hours driving running in. No leaks and nothing caught fire or fell off so a success as far as I'm concerned! First impressions: Front suspension geometry is miles off, makes for interesting...

    500zx is alive (video)

    First video I managed to get. This is after initial running to get everything up to temp, check for leaks etc. and do some very, very basic mapping to at least let it rev a bit without stalling. Still some big flatspots even with no load but that'll all get sorted soon...

    My exhaust manifolds - 500ZX nearly running

    Some pics of the last big piece of my 500ZX build - exhaust manifolds. Still in progress but nearly done. Leon at Alunox is doing them for me. Have to say he's done his usual awesome job. Exactly the diameter and lengths I asked for and has somehow still managed to miss everything on the car...

    Roll cage group buy - swb/lwb

    OK, after a bit of a delay sourcing the materials, finally got prices on these. Cages will be available for both SWB and LWB. These are not the usual mainly cosmetic cages you can buy off the shelf, these are fully certified professional cages. They’ll be made by Leon Pearce at Alunox exhausts...

    SWB Roll cages

    Gauging interest in a group buy on these. Would be a FULL bolt in roll cage for SWB, requires the dash to be slotted to fit. Will be made by Leon at Alunox, material will be CDS or clubman 500. T45 an option but £££££ Would be looking at around £700ea for 3 or possibly down to £500ea if we can...
